Hi there all.. I fly gyrocopters and Quicksilvers.. and I have a few questions about my Quicksilver MXLII Sport.....
The guy I bought it from had it pretty loaded and I am wondering where I should loose weight on the machine...
It's a Rotax dual carb, dual ignition 503, with a double muffler and a pre-silencer on the carbs. It has a BRS, electric starter, battery, ELT, strobes, radio, intercoms and 2 instrument pods on it... I just feel like it overloaded and wanted the opinion of a few veteran pilots of Quicksilvers.... Flying alone is fine, but taking anyone over, say, 170lbs seems to really lower the performance....
Other than the obvious, which is getting a larger engine, does anyone have any suggestions? My thought is to loose the BRS, the ELT and the batt/starter, but I was hoping to get some opinions first... Thanks |
